Isragirl Presents : Jaffa Mosque, Photo by Chanan Getraide ©

Israel has some beautiful Mosques, the famous ones are located in Jerusalem and Acre but you will find mosques all over Israel, in Jaffa, Haifa, Nazareth, in the Galilee and in the Negev… Mosques are usually seen from a far, they have a high tower (used in modern days for hanging speakers so everyone can listen to the prayer) and green lights (during night). This small Mosque called Ja’ama’a El-Bahr sits peacefully at the north end of Jaffa, right where Tel Aviv meets Jaffa on the beach. The mosque itself is not special in any touristic way, but just by being there, it reminds us that there is room for all convictions and that tolerance is the only way for humanity to survive.

The photo was taken by Mr. Chanan Getraide, a photographer from Kibbutz Shiller. I strongly recommend a visit to his website (Click on the photo and you will get there), he has landscape and urban photos, industrial and environmental photos, portraits and special moments photos – All from Israel of course. Mr Getraide is a brilliant photographer and you can order his prints in different sizes through the website.

Imagine no religion, no conflicts, no wars, Imagine that…

Photo from Safed Birth Town of Kabbalah

Safed (pronounced Tzfat in Hebrew) is a city in the Northern District of Israel and it is one of Judaism’s Four Holy Cities, along with Jerusalem, Tiberias and Hebron. Safed is the birth town of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and still is a center for Kabbalah students and followers. The Jewish community of Safed started growing in the 15^th century and Rabbi Issac Luria (“HaAri” – the lion) – Kabbalah’s foremost advocate – came to live and teach here in 1569. >> Safed (Tzfat) – Kabbalah birth town

The Old City of Jerusalem at Night:

The magnificent wall of Jerusalem’s Old City will take your breath away. Striking during the day and stunning by night, this Holy City that’s been around for thousands of years, conquered and re-conquered, and still there to inspire us all. Holy to the three major monotheistic religions and exciting to all, no matter what is your faith.
Jerusalem, like New York, Paris, London, Rio and Benares (Varanasi) is a city every person should visit at least once in his/her life time.

Don’t forget your digital camera when visiting Jerusalem, some of your best photos of Israel will be taken in Jerusalem
